Putting Golf Hook to Rest

A golf hook can be so irritating when you think the ball is going toward the target and then it zips off to the left. If you're one of these golfers it is time to say no more and develop an understanding of why this duck hook occurs.

Like the Golf Slice, a hook occurs by the ball starting 85% to where the face is pointing at impact.

Then it curves because of the 15% implanted from the path being too far in to out.

If you would like more information on where I got these numbers, visit my D-Plane page.

In order to get rid of this hook we're going to need to reduce the curvature by either fixing the path or the face.

Testimonials:

Bo,
I wanted to thank you for your help so far with my golf game. I wanted to let you know that I shot a 75 the other day in a tournament round, my best round ever. I had 32 total putts and NO 3 putts. I definitely couldn't have done that before. Thanks again and I'll be back in touch soon to get some more lessons lined up.

Bo I just wanted to tell you about another tournament I played in. I went out and played and shot a 75 which is one of my best rounds this year so I think everything is coming together. I've been making alot of birdies lately and just wanted to thank you for everything!
